[Sylvian's Beard]

[proggrl]

I would like to add....

Thin Lizzy - Black Rose

Well it's too late now! No additions allowed. j/k

Echolyn - Suffocating the Bloom
Kate Bush - Yes, please, I'll take them all.
Tool - Aenema, prob
Marillion - currently Marbles, LaGazza Ladra for the earlier stuff - it just kicks so much ass live
Sylvian - Secrets (of course)
Wes - Under the Red and the White Sky
Ravana - Common Daze
PT - Recordings/UtD/Warszawa/DW - mehh any will do.
Twelfth Night - Collectors Item. Comp, but the title track and version of Love Song absolutely KILL me!
# 10 is always a toughy. I could call for a DD album... but which one? Could go with Timothy Pure's Blood of the Berry - played that thing to death but now not as much. I think I have to say - even though I'd also like to give a shout out to The Mars Volta, one of my favourite albums is indeed -
Somnambulist -s/t.

I know you guys are scratching your heads over half these names, but ....
that's why I like 'em! Mind these are fave albums not necessarily fave artists. IE I have artists I love more albums by but not as much - if that makes sense. Ravana - only put the one CD out - not a fave artist but it's one of my most fave albums. See wot I'm sayin'?

[Silver Moon]

OK I will try and not pick any from the same artist more than once... ...These are just for the moment!

Hiya ET and welcome!

I love Innervisions as well. Stevie Wonder I think was a great influence on Richard Barbieri... someone correct me if I'm wrong... but it's hard, really hard, to choose ten albums of all time. Isn't it? 5 Japan albums and more Porcupine Tree albums... yes, REALLY hard
